Yingui Li Eliminated
Nível 6
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
We caught the action in what turned out to be a big hand for Yingui Li as he check raised all in on the turn on a board of 
. Bonomo, seated in the cutoff, had bet 88,000 and called the allin shove from his neighbor for just about 270,000 total with 
. Li shook his head and turned over 
. The river 
didn't save him and Bonomo doubled up.
Li had just 14,700 left after that hand, and moved in from the under the gun position the next hand. Paul Newey made the call from the cutoff and Ramin Hajiyev called from the small blind. There would be no side pot created on the flop of 
as both players checked. The 
on the turn made Hajiyev bet 19,600 and Newey folded.
Ramin Hajiyev: 
Yingui Li: 
The river 
on the river wasn't the card Li was looking for, and he exited the tournament area.

An Oktoberfest to Remember for Fast
Nível 6
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Eleven days ago, Dietrich Fast took down Event #2: €550 "Oktoberfest" No-Limit Hold'em at the 2015 World Series of Poker Europe, denying the UK's John Gale his second bracelet of the year while taking home €157,749 and his first WSOP gold bracelet. To do so, Fast outlasted a field of 2,144 entries.
Fast's rungood seems to have continued here at the EPT12 Malta as he's currently sitting on the big stack in the room, and most of it came from one big hand.
We picked up the action with 200,000 or so already in the pot and a board reading 
. Piotr Franczak bet 95,000 from the under-the-gun position, and Fast thought long and hard before making the call from the cutoff. When the completed the board on the river, Franczak paused for about 15 seconds before moving all in for 170,000, and Fast snapped him off with the 
for a flush.
Franczak sheepishly showed the 
and seemed frustrated that he suddenly found himself on the rail.
Meanwhile, Martin Finger, who was the first player to bust today and reenter, has been eliminated for a second time. Given this is a single reentry tournament, we wont' be seeing anymore of the EPT12 Barcelona High Roller champ.

Carrel, De Meulder & Chattha Among Early EPT12 Malta Side Event Winners
Nível 7
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
The European Poker Tour Malta is comprised of 76 events, and already some notables have been winning "Spadies."
For instance, the first event, a €5,000 Win the Button tournament, attracted just five players, though all of them — Ben Heath, Martin Finger, Patrick Leonard, Charlie Carrel and IPT7 Malta champion Georgios Zisimopoulos – were accomplished.
In the end, the 22-year-old Carrel defeated his best friend, Ben Heath, in heads-up play to walk away with the €15,760 top prize and the first trophy of the festival. Meanwhile, the 23-year-old Heath earned €8,490 for his efforts.
According to PokerStars, Carrel, known as "Epiphany77" online, started his poker career online with a deposit of just $15 and now has online earnings of nearly $900k including chopping the Sunday Million last year.
His first big score on the EPT came here in Malta in March when he made the final of the €10k High Roller, finishing fifth for €183,800; and then just two months later he won the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo Casino EPT Grand Final Grand Final High Roller for €1,114,000.
In other news, Team PokerStars Pro Matthias De Meulder took down the €500 NL Deepstack Turbo event on Thursday night for €9,842., which came after cutting a three-way deal with runner-up Georgios Zisimopoulos, the reigning IPT Malta champ, and British player Patrick Leonard. There were 82 entries in total, creating a €39,770 prize pool with 11 players making the money.
Meanwhile, Eric Lescot took down the €500 PLO Turbo – a tournament that attracted 56 entries and created a prize pool of €27,160 — for €7,315 after cutting a heads-up deal with Finland’s Olli Kokko.
Finally, Britain’s Chaz Chattha won the €200 NL Hyper Turbo – a tournament that attracted 108 players with 15 being paid — for €4,540 after a three-way deal that saw runner-up Istvan Magyar and third-place finisher Giorgio Bellanca both take home €3,500 each.
McDonald Doubles in Big Hand
Nível 7
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
We caught the action on the flop, but Mike McDonald was kind enough to fill us in on the pre flop details after the hand was finished.
McDonald opened the button to 9,000 and big blind Liberto three bet to 32,000. McDonald thought the bracelet winner had made it it 27,000, and clicked it back to 55,000. Liberto called.
The flop came 
and Liberto fired 39,000. McDonald slid 80,000 forward and the action was back on Liberto. Liberto tanked for a bit and announced all in. McDonald snap called and Liberto shook his head as he knew he was in trouble.
Mike McDonald: 
Justin Liberto: 
The 
on the turn and on the river didn't help Liberto, and he had to forfeit 183,000 of his stack.
